University of Toronto President’s Scholars of Excellence Program
Eligibility: Approximately 150 of the most highly qualified students applying to first year of direct-entry, undergraduate studies will be distinguished as President’s Scholars of Excellence. Outstanding domestic and international secondary school students are considered automatically for the President’s Scholars of Excellence Program (PSEP) upon admission (i.e. a separate application is not required). This distinction, offered to a small number of highly qualified students, includes the following opportunities:
- A $10,000 entrance scholarship in first year (non-renewable).
- Access to meaningful part-time on-campus employment during your second year. PSEP recipients will receive a notice from the Career and Co-Curricular Learning Network (CLNx)(external link) in August following their first year of study, inviting them to apply for Work-Study positions that give priority to PSEP recipients.
- Access to an international learning opportunity during your university studies. Please note that this guarantee does not include funding, but financial assistance may be available if you have demonstrable financial need.
- Additional features may be offered by the admitting division. Please refer to your letter of offer for further details.
